Ep. 25: Kelly Reichardt’s Old Joy and Night Moves

In preparation for our forthcoming ebook on Kelly Reichardt, podcast host and Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney, Executive Editor Orla Smith, and Associate Editor Brett Pardy discuss site favourite Kelly Reichardt’s two (pre-First Cow) films about men and masculinity, Old Joy (2006) and Night Moves (2013). You can pre-order the ebook now.

In Old Joy, old college friends Kurt (Will Oldham) and Mark (Daniel London) reunite for a weekend camping trip. It does not go as planned.

In Night Moves, Josh (Jessen Eisenberg) and Dena (Dakota Fanning) are radical environmentalists who team with ex-Marine Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard) to bomb a dam. It does not go as planned.

On the podcast, our editors discuss why Kelly Reichardt is drawn to Oregon, how she depicts men and masculinity in Old Joy and Night Moves, how her films make driving look interesting, the lack of movies about male friendships, James LeGros’ one shirt, and more.
